Starting the OSS Monitor
4. At an SCF prompt, to start the OSS Monitor, enter:
START PROCESS $ZZKRN.#ZPMON
5. At an SCF prompt, to verify that the OSS Monitor is running, enter:
STATUS PROCESS $ZZKRN.#ZPMON
6. If the OSS Monitor process is not running, check the Event Management Service
(EMS) log for related event messages. See Appendix A, Messages, for explanation
of any console messages received and possible corrective actions.
Running the OSS Monitor as a persistent process does not automatically enable the
automatic startup service or select OSS servers or filesets for automatic restart. See
the SCF ALTER SUBSYS, ALTER MON, and ALTER PROCESS Commands on
page 12-34 for information on enabling the automatic startup service, and see the SCF
ADD and ALTER commands for information on configuring automatic restart of filesets
and OSS servers.
For more information about managing generic and persistent processes, see the SCF
Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
PARAMs Used by the OSS Monitor
In G-series RVUs preceding G04.00, you could alter the behavior of the OSS Monitor
by setting TACL PARAMs before starting the OSS Monitor. The actions controlled by
these PARAMs could be changed only while the OSS Monitor was running and in
those instances where an SCF command allowed you to specify a different value.
Beginning with the G04.00 RVU, the OSS Monitor ignores most TACL PARAMs and
uses values configured in one of the following files:
•
The ZOSSPARM file
•
The ZOSSSERV file
as appropriate for the related OSS facility. The tasks required to configure and check
these files are described later in this section for the ZOSSPARM file and in
Configuration Files
on page 4-7 for the ZOSSPARM file and the ZOSSSERV file.
The TACL PARAMs listed in Table 2-1
on page 2-11 are intended to be used during the
first execution of the OSS Monitor. If this is a new installation with no OSS Monitor
database, then the OSS Monitor looks for these PARAMs. It stores the values of these
PARAMs in the global subsystem settings, an action equivalent to using the SCF
ALTER SUBYS, IOTIMEOUT value, FSCKCPU value, AUTOSTART value
command described in ALTER SUBSYS, ALTER MON, and ALTER PROCESS
Commands on page 12-34.
